Starfinder Core Rulebook p.215
Price: 10 credits
This module contains secured data relative to a specific topic, and is
almost never available without root access or an action by someone
with root access to grant another user the ability to access the
secure data module. Since a secure data module serves to store
information too important or sensitive to let fall into the hands of
your average hacker, it is frequently also kept behind a firewall.
Secure data might consist of a few simple documents or a vast
library of technical specifications. The only requirement is that
the data be limited to one general topic (such as a ship’s design,
correspondence among members of a group, local maps and charts,
etc.); additional topics require additional data modules. The price
of the module depends on the topic’s size. A data module suitable
for a specific small topic (such as a video log, a financial ledger, or
a building schematic) costs 1 credit. A data module for an average
topic (such as engineering specifications for a gun, a company’s
employee database, or a large array of maps) costs 10 credits.
Modules for large topics (such as the plans for a starship, a space
station’s operations log, or a company’s master records) cost at least
100 credits and might cost as much as 1,000 credits. In addition to
storing data that might be valuable on its own (such as plans for a
military invasion), a data module allows a character with access to
it to take 20 when attempting a skill check to recall knowledge on
a topic related to the data module’s contents.
